Striving for Balance? Don’t Bother! ~ Tarot Card for Friday

15 Comments / November 2013, Veronica Noir / /

fridays with veronicaVeronica is the Daily Tarot Girl’s evil twin. She spends her time penning smut, sipping martinis, and planning her next seduction. Let us read what she has to say about the Six of Pentacles…

New Palladini Tarot

Today we have the Six of Pentacles (again!) and it appears that “balance” is what it’s all about. But don’t be fooled. Striving for balance is overrated.

Contrary to popular belief, imbalance is the natural state of affairs. Think of a pair of testicles. One must always hang lower than the other, lest they be squished together during the act of walking (moving forward).

And this is how you need to start thinking of your life – like a pair of testicles. Stop striving for perfect balance.

You hear a lot about “balance” these days – about eating a balanced diet, about living a balanced life, balance, balance, balance! And its all bullshit.

Striving for perfect balance is useless and, in my humble opinion, totally unnatural. But here’s the funny thing – if you just do what you feel, eventually things even out and balance themselves.

For example, yesterday I spent an entire day lying on my couch, reading Scandalous Liaisons by Sylvia Day, eating peanut butter-cornflake squares and drinking syrupy, German white wine.

But today I am just humming along with my work like a skanky ferrari, getting shit done, eating my greens and doing yoga.

So stop striving and just go with the fucking flow already!

Animal Wisdom Tarot by Dawn Brunke

Today is all about sharing and conferring with others. The Six of Fossils (aka Six of Pentacles) reminds you that you don’t have to do it all alone!

What groups are you a part of? This can be online communities, your co-workers, social groups, sports teams, whatever – just remember that you have many groups that you can consult with if you need help, advice, ideas or just support.

Someone may unexpectedly help you today in a really big way, or you may feel called to lend a helping hand to a friend or stranger. Sharing, helping others and collaboration will feel very natural and easy for you right now!

Five of Pentacles ~ Start Telling a New Story!

Feel like the weight of the world is crushing you? Or perhaps just the heavy load of all your responsibilities are bringing you down? Tell a different story!

If you find yourself lamenting to your friends about how hard things are, realize that this only creates more of what your complaining about. Especially if you actually feel worse afterwards.

Try re-writing your “script”. Here’s an example: The other day I said to a friend “nothing is working out the way I want it to and it is really disappointing.”

I felt much worse after saying that.

What I am going to say from now on is: “While things aren’t unfolding the way I had hoped, I know that everything is unfolding in the order and time it is meant to. I am excited to see where this leads.”

The second response is just as true as the first response, but it has a positive feel to it and makes me feel empowered instead of a helpless victim of life.

Do you have a negative “script” or story that you keep telling yourself and others? How can you re-write it so it feels good?

The Heirophant ~ Tarot Card for Tuesday!

No, you don’t need a degree! Part of you thinks that if some authoritative “governing body” issues you a certificate then you will have permission to do what you really want to. That’s just not true.

Do you feel tempted to keep signing up for courses and programs? There is nothing wrong with being a life long learner, but do it out of sheer interest and not out of a sense of lack.

You already have everything you need to succeed.

What is needed is presence. If you can be present in all you do, and give things your full attention, you will contribute to this world in profound ways.

Magical Messages from the Fairies by Doreen Virtue

Start your week off by delving into things! This card says “you need more information about this situation. Look into it further before proceeding.”

If you need to make a decision, do your homework and get informed. Don’t forget about Google! Information is easily found these days, so take advantage of this fact.

Today is the perfect day to lock yourself in a room with all your books and read, read, read just for the joy of it.

Whether you like trashy novels, history books, biographies, true crime or metaphysical books, your in the mood to absorb knowledge like a sponge – so do it!!!

Friday’s with Veronica ~ The Tower

7 Comments / November 2013, Veronica Noir / /

My apologies for posting this late! I had this scheduled to post and somehow, my site didn’t post it automatically! Arrrgh! Better late than never 😉

fridays with veronicaVeronica Noir is a writer of smut, maker of cocktails and The Daily Tarot Girl’s evil, evil twin. When not reading Tarot she can be found lounging poolside in her neighbors yard (when they aren’t home) and lamenting the depressing lack of hot, young man-meat in her town. Let’s see what dreadful advice she has for you today…

the tower (2)
The Housewives Tarot

Ah, The Tower! This particular version gives me the shudders, not because its The Tower, but because it reminds me of the horrors of jellied salad. Thank god no one makes that anymore!

Lately you’ve been thinking “gee, I really want to shake things up a bit and turn this craptastic world on its head!” but then you stop yourself and think “no, it would never work. The System is too strong.”

I have news for you – that which appears all solid and strong is not. In fact, it’s like jellied salad. If everything is still, it looks solid, but when you move around, it wobbles and your realize its just jelly and can be easily dismantled. So move around. Don’t just stand still. Shimmy and shake, prance and dance.

So I ask you, crazy banana that you are, how can you break the mould today? How can you make things wobble and shake? Tell me in the comments below!!!

The Animal Wisdom Tarot by Dawn Brunke

Today’s Tarot card is Cat, Knower of Secrets, aka the High Priestess. It is time to go within and listen to your inner voice – the voice of your intuition.

Shut out all distractions for at least 20 min today and see what your higher self has to say. It may surprise you!

Also, you may notice that others are rushing to confide in you, asking you to keep their secrets. If this is the case, listen without judgement, but do not offer any advice.

Today is a day of inaction, solitude, rest and introspection – this is what is needed to bring out your true sense of wisdom and spiritual connection.

Today you will get some clarity on what you truly want. Perhaps you have been struggling to create a clear path in your mind of where you want to go.

Don’t get me wrong – there will always be some fog, but today you have the opportunity to make a breakthrough!

The Ace of Pentacles suggests that you are finally merging your values, vision and passion together in a way that will give you a strong sense of purpose and direction.

Some activities you might try today: writing down you goals and dreams, planning the next steps, do some journalling around what could be “blocking” you on your path and how you can release them. Or, simply just holding a positive vision of what you would like to create.

Today is full of the energy of fresh starts, new beginnings and a whole new way of seeing the world!

Four of Cups ~ Tarot Card for Tuesday

Are you feeling a little bit “meh” about life today? The Four of Cups suggests that, despite being offered many opportunities, you just aren’t feeling the razzle-dazzle!

Part of you feels that life should be more than this. The repetitive banality of daily life is getting to you and you want a way out. Fear not!

The big thing I get from this card is that no one is going to show up and hand you passion, excitement and meaning on a silver platter. You have to find it yourself.

Do something out of the ordinary today, even if its small. Pick up a book you wouldn’t normally read, go for a walk in a different neighborhood or sign up for that class you’ve been thinking about.

This should be enough to shift your energies so you once again feel the excitement that life has to offer 🙂

Be Yourself! ~ Oracle Card for Monday

4 Comments / November 2013 / /

be yourselfToday’s message is Be Yourself. This card says “This situation calls for you to be your authentic self, which is the basis for your personal power.”

You probably haven’t really been encouraged to “be yourself” very much. Sure, people say it all the time – “just be yourself!” as if its the easiest thing in the world to go against a lifetime of training and conditioning that encourages the opposite.

How many times have you wanted to say something, but kept quiet for fear of upsetting someone or rocking the boat?

So “just being yourself” isn’t always easy. Sometimes it requires real courage. But in the end, its way more fun and in some ways can be the easiest option, even if it doesn’t seem like it at the time.

So say what you mean today. Do what you feel and let your desires and ideas show the way. Don’t try to be someone else, don’t try to squeeze yourself into a “role” and don’t try to make yourself more acceptable to others. It’s time to really bust out and be authentic!
